'Suicide Kale,' A Queer Women's Comedy that Destroys the Bechdel Test, Now on VOD 

Featuring Jasika Nicole ("Underground," "Scandal," "Fringe") and actor/writer Brittani Nichols ("Transparent," "Words with Girls"), the dark comedy "Suicide Kale," directed by Carly Usdin, is available Friday, March 24th for the first time on VOD. "Suicide Kale" has screened at more than 30 Festivals across the globe and earned Audience Awards at Outfest in Los Angeles and Newfest in New York City, in addition to other accolades.

"Suicide Kale" is available for VOD rental Friday, March 24th on Vimeo and Amazon, with pre-orders available on 3/21. The film will also be available on iTunes and via Amazon Prime later in the spring, while continuing to play at Festivals across the world.

A rarity within even the LGBTQ film genre, "Suicide Kale" centers the lives of queer women, primarily queer women of color in this tale of two couples, one brunch, and a mysterious note.

Vice's Carrie Nelson notes "The honesty of the story is refreshing, as is the ease with which it passes the Bechdel Test: No male characters appear in the film, nor are any ever the topic of conversation."

Using naturalistic acting with an emphasis on dialogue, the largely improvised film is one of the first of its kind to open up the mumblequeer genre in LGBTQ film, and was shot over the course of just five days.

"Suicide Kale" is distributed by Frameline, host to the oldest and largest LGBTQ Film Festival in the world, a San-Francisco Bay Area non-profit LGBTQ media arts organization.

"Suicide Kale" is the first feature-length narrative film Frameline has distributed in nearly a decade, having concentrated on social justice documentaries and short form narratives as the country's only non-profit distributor amplifying the voices of underserved members of the LGBTQ community.
